Nahom Fisseha

Fisseha returns to the Catholic men's soccer staff for his third season ahead of the 2025 season. Fisseha helped guide Catholic to back-to-back Landmark championships after defeating top-seeded Juniata 2-1 in the championship game to earn a bid into the NCAA Tournament while posting a 10-6-5 record. In his first year with the program, Fisseha assisted in leading the Cardinals to a 12-7-2 record and the sixth Landmark Conference championship in program history. 

While Fisseha is new to coaching, he brings a myriad of playing experience at the highest level of high school and DIII NCAA competition. He attended St. Mary's (Md.) where he was a three-year captain. As a midfielder, he made 56 appearances scoring once and providing four assists. During his time in the program, the team won the United East regular season his senior season and the team achieved a program-record-high national ranking of No. 3 in the country. He was also named to the 2022 United East All-Sportsmanship Team and was a two-sport athlete, also participating in track & field.

Fisseha has spent the majority of his life living locally in Laurel, Md., and attended high school at local Archbishop Carroll in Washington, D.C. While there, he cemented himself as one of the top soccer players in the school's history. Playing in the ultra-competitive WCAC, Fisseha was a three-year All-WCAC selection and a two-time D.C. All-Star Game selection. He earned the honor of All-Star Game MVP once and was a four-year captain at Archbishop Carroll.
